September: Here are a few websites that we have been working on in the computer lab for you to try: http://www.on.ec.gc.ca/greatlakeskids/glk-games-e.html http://www.ecokidsonline.com/pub/homework_help/wildlife/index.cfm http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/content/animals/kidscorner/kidscorner3.htm Math: We will be working on addition and subtraction for the next few weeks. Then we will start graphing (reading and creating bargraphs, pictographs and lineplots) Language: We are going to continue to work on reading comprehension. The children will read short stories related to our science unit on "habitats" and will be asked to answer comprehension questions. We are also going to be working on a "habitat" story. The students will learn to write dialog during this experience. Science: We are currently studying habitats. The students will be researching a particular biome and will create an in-class project to demonstrate what they have learned. We are also doing some 'outdoor' activities to add to the experience. Social Science: We are learning about Canada. We have been reviewing the provinces and capitals and will look at bodies of water, lakes and rivers. We will also be looking at maps and practicing various mapping skills. Homework will consist of nightly reading, extra practice, work not completed during class time and monthly projects. If you have any questions please call me at the school. Sincerely, Heather Borthwick
